This is why I won't even bother seriously arguing with people who didn't read the manga. The anime is so incredibly biased and leaves out SO much characterization, Historia being one of the victims of this, but not the only one. Actually Levi is also a victim of this because the anime creators preferred him as "team dad" than anything else. Erwin too...

I posit Naruto and Sasuke’s shared mindscape as a heteropia: a countersite that simultaneously represented, contested, and inverted other sites that could be found within their culture.

Naruto and Sasuke exist within a fictional world that's largely a projection of the cultural milieu Kishimoto himself was raised in. Therefore, by virtue of the fact "that there is probably not a single culture in the world that fails to constitute heterotopias," I posit that the world of Naruto adheres to the first principle.

There are two main types of heteropias: heterotopias of crisis and heterotopias of deviance. Naruto and Sasuke's mindscape embodies both of these categories.

Naruto and Sasuke's Mindscape as a Heteropia of Crisis

Upon graduating from the academy, ninja fledglings were given a headband that symbolized their adulthood and induction to shinobihood. Generally speaking, to be a shinobi meant to be a tool used at the behest of the village one was in service to. But for the Konoha ninjas specifically, it also meant adopting the will of fire, which in practice entailed prioritizing the village entity even at the cost of sacrificing the individual.

Naruto and Sasuke's mindscape functioned as a sacred place that allowed them to negotiate with their crisis of adolescence. Despite both being formally recognized as adults by Konoha, Naruto and Sasuke remained tethered to their childhood, which resulted in their shared neurosis.

Sasuke was groomed to prioritize vengeance by the person he had loved and trusted more than anyone. Bonds were not meant to be regarded as lasting and essential connections, but rather as auxiliary relations that could be sacrificed at the altar of power.

As a result of Sasuke's trauma, he remained continually mired in grief and shirked the "weakness" that came from having with connections with others. As a result of Naruto's trauma, he developed a massive inferiority complex. And naturally, their issues impacted how they interacted with other.

Naruto was happy seeing Sasuke at first glance and wanted to speak to who he felt was another kindred lonely spirit right away. Just watching Naruto made Sasuke's heart feel safe and managed to bring a smile to his face. However, they were unable to properly verbalize their desires even to themselves and lived in a state of denial.

In fact, when Naruto and Sasuke had the chance to make the seal of reconciliation after their academy spar, they both refused, choosing to maintain a facade rather than embrace the vulnerability that they internally sought.

Though their tension in that moment was seemingly ended upon Naruto choosing to leave, their shared mindscape laid bare their anxieties and regret over not having reached out to each other in the way that they wanted to as children. They were unable to complete the traditional ritualistic performance expected of them as ninjas despite and because of their significant emotional attachment to each other, so they retreated to fantasy instead of confronting their reality head-on.

Naruto and Sasuke's mindscape served as a safe haven that allowed them to confront their lack of maturation and gradually develop into adulthood at the end of the manga (during their blood seal of reconciliation). For example, it's the reason why the feelings Naruto held towards Sasuke, feelings which he only internally reflected on during VOTE 1, were finally revealed to Sasuke during the 5 Kage Summit Arc in their mindscape. It's also why Sasuke was able to explicitly tell Naruto that they understood each other’s hearts after they witnessed each other's childhood memories (when their chakras clashed).

Kishimoto continually sought to problematize the notion of shinobihood throughout the manga (e.g., Zabuza admitting that even he, as a shinobi, couldn't cut himself off from his emotions, a scene that was clearly paralleled with Sasuke finally being honest about his emotions towards Naruto at the end of the manga), and nowhere was this explored more than in the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke. If even the ninjas built up to be strongest and most successful by the end of the manga couldn't adhere to traditional ninja ideals, then clearly a radical conceptual shift was necessary.

I would also argue that Naruto and Sasuke's developmental crisis was a form of deviance inasmuch as it conflicted with their status as ninjas.

Naruto and Sasuke's Mindscape as a Heteropia of Deviance

The word "ninja/shinobi" (忍者) means "one who is stealthy" and is a combination of "nin" (忍), which means "endurance," and "sha" (者), which means "someone of that type."

The significant series-ending message delivered by Sasuke, "A ninja is one who endures," is a play on words based on the kanji for "nin" (忍), being made up of the kanji for "blade" (刃) pressing down on the kanji for "heart" (心).

The kanji's meaning of endurance comes from the strength that it takes to withstand a blade pressing down on one's heart.

It was this same pun that motivated the opposing ideology outlined in Kakashi's words ("It is merely important that we exist as a tool for our homeland to use in whatever way they need") at the beginning of the manga, as the "nin" kanji without the "heart" kanji is a blade, or a tool. (There is something to be said about Kishimoto's adeptness with words and the way the incompleteness of the dominant shinobi logic, "A ninja is meant to be a tool," mirrored the incompleteness of the kanji for "nin," but that is beyond the scope of this post.)

Time after time, the narrative reiterated the fact that objectification, and more specifically instrumentality, was the supreme logic that undergirded shinobihood in Naruto. Shinobi were merely regarded as tools (a significant part of the tension in Naruto came from ninjas trying to reconcile the ideal of ninjahood with their lived experiences). And during Part 1 in particular, no where was this logic exemplified more than in Orochimaru, whose crimes ranged from grooming to human experimentation. There wasn't a single line Orochimaru wouldn't cross for power, and this was made especially apparent during the Forest of Death. Orochimaru, who desired a "beautiful" Uchiha body to quite literally use as a vessel, set his eyes on Sasuke and staked his claim with a curse mark, in the hope that Sasuke would seek him out in the quest for power. However, there was one hitch in his plan to turn Sasuke into a tool: Naruto. The person who was fearless enough to try and take on a major hidden village was nervous not because of Naruto's budding physical capabilities but because of Naruto's influence on Sasuke—an influence so strong that it reduced the darkness in Sasuke and changed his heart and goals (The visual symbolism in the scene was particularly telling. It's no coincidence that the kanji for "shinobi" was on full display as Orochimaru and Kabuto discussed the need to separate Sasuke from his heart, Naruto, in order to make him a vessel). In other words, Sasuke's feelings for Naruto were a threat, a deviance "in relation to the required mean or norm" of shinobi society.

Naruto's deviance was even more markedly apparent, so much so that everyone from Sai to Tayuya remarked on his unmanly and off-putting non-friendship-like feelings for and behavior towards Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke's shared mindscape allowed the heretical hearts that the shinobi world wanted eradicated to communicate and eventually coalesce in their shared feelings for each other.

This will also receive more elaboration when I discuss principle 3.

The second principle of heteropias states that their meanings and functions can shift based on the cultural context.

In Naruto, the original purposes of chakra, and consequently the connection of spiritual energies, were to enable people to read each other's hearts without words and pray for stability. It was called "ninshu," a religious practice created by the Sage of Six Paths. However, this original purpose became obscured as people used chakra to amplify their own power and convert it into ninjutsu to battle each other. Naruto and Sasuke's existence in a purportedly "post"-Sage world where shinobi were commonplace in their village altered the function of the mindscape/heteropia as well as the mode through which it was reached. While it retained the original meaning of being an interface that allowed two hearts to connect, the connection no longer functioned as a communal prayer channel; it primarily became a means through which Naruto and Sasuke sorted out their *intimate* interpersonal issues. Even though the nature of their confrontation took on a political slant in the aftermath of the war, their political aims were still largely facades that concealed deeper motives: "personal feelings [and] childhood traumas."

Sasuke's statement about fists ("Do you know, Naruto, if two top-class ninjas exchange fists just once, they can read each other's hearts?") also reflected the recontexualization of the mindscape in the wake of Madara and Hashirama's legacy. The seemingly antithetical functions of nishu and ninjutsu merged to adapt to Naruto and Sasuke's hypermilitarized world. Despite the cultivation of chakra, and consequently, power, being characterized as a barrier to emotional connections, it was precisely the clash of Naruto's and Sasuke's respective weapons of choice, the rasengan and the chidori, that allowed Naruto and Sasuke's spiritual energies to merge.

A bonus dealing with what happens during and after Naruto and Sasuke settled things with a discussion.

[Part 1]

[Part 2]

Naruto got Sasuke to admit he lost. Prior to the ending, Kishimoto stated that Sasuke was not someone who accepted others and indicated that this would have to be resolved. However, Kishimoto after the ending Kishimoto made it especially clear that Naruto's exception was Naruto. Sasuke had already accepted Naruto, but he ultimately needed to accept himself and his weakness. His statement also reflected an acknowledgement of the fact that there were things he couldn't do on his own. Said acknowledgement was tied to Sasuke's belief that he and Naruto were a pair who were born to be attracted to each other.

Sasuke's inner feelings and dream shone through when he performed the seal of reconciliation with Naruto. Kishimoto stated he was able to draw that moment because he'd already hinted at it earlier.

Sasuke confirmed Naruto kept coming closer to his heart all the time. Heart symbolism has special significance in their bond.

And finally, it was thanks to Naruto that Sasuke was saved.

[Part 1]

[Part 3]

Sasuke became distracted by the name of the Great Naruto Bridge (which is meant to represent Naruto) to the point that Suigetsu had to talk to him twice before he responded.

Sasuke stared at Naruto to the point of being distracted and was caught off guard by Kakashi.

Naruto was able to enter his shared mindscape with Sasuke and reach his heart.

Sasuke willingly stayed to listen to Naruto's lecture despite being urged to leave by Obito.

Despite refusing to transplant Itachi's eyes earlier, Sasuke changed his mind suddenly because of a desire to cut Naruto down. It was part of a consistent pattern of Naruto being singled out as someone Sasuke needed to cut down.

When Sasuke reflected on the two reasons he needed to cut Naruto down, he prioritized his desire to feel pain over losing Naruto, thus becoming stronger, before his desire for revenge against Konoha.

Sasuke took his promise to Naruto (to not harm Konoha shinobi until he fought Naruto first) seriously.

Itachi astutely noted that Naruto was a guide that made Sasuke deviate from the path he set for his life. This scene was a reference to Itachi and Sasuke's battle and the fact that Sasuke didn't attain the mangekyō sharingan (because he didn't kill Naruto).

Itachi noted that Naruto was the one who could change Sasuke.

After sensing Naruto's chakra, Sasuke became worried, which Orochimaru noticed. The word Orochimaru used to describe Sasuke's feelings was the same word Sasuke used to describe his empathy for Naruto during his monologue. This continued the pattern of Orochimaru being utilized as a reliable narrator for Sasuke's feelings about Naruto.

When Sasuke protected Naruto, he singled Naruto out as the one remaining connection to his past that he needed to cut off.

Sasuke shielded Naruto before he shielded himself.

When the 10 tails was going to blow up the entire shinobi alliance, Sasuke didn't hesitate to try and take Naruto (even without Naruto asking).

Sasuke felt pain and had a foul mood when he saw Naruto in distress over losing his comrades, so he encouraged Naruto to not give up.

Sasuke moved to save Naruto from the burning lava. Despite Sasuke's rationalization, after Naruto teased him, Sasuke thought about how his body moved on its own for Naruto. When asked about the original scene, Kishimoto discussed the way Sasuke acknowledged Naruto but couldn't state his feelings out loud.

Despite Sasuke needing to work with Naruto after his solo surprise attack on Kaguya failed, he still went ahead to fight alone after seeing Naruto's sadness over Obito's fate.

When Hashirama saw how Sasuke looked at Naruto while he was grieving, he knew they'd probably find a different conclusion than he and Madara. Kishimoto frequently used external parties to comment on Sasuke's feelings about Naruto.

Sasuke finally admitted that Naruto's status as his closest friend never changed, which was why he still needed to cut Naruto off.

Sasuke repeatedly tried to get Naruto to fight harder against him.

Sasuke finally explicitly singled out Naruto alone as his weakness. He also stated that even though he tried to escape his weakness to get stronger, he was unable to, as he ended up on the same team as Naruto (Sasuke: I trained hard as if to accept that weakness... in order to get stronger than my brother, in order to get my revenge... yet I ended up on the same team as you...). Naruto continued to be like family to Sasuke even after the dissolution of Team 7 and was accordingly the only one singled out as such in interviews.

Loneliness is integral to Naruto and Sasuke's characters. It was a trait that defined them and shaped how they moved about in the world (even in Sasuke's character sheet, the description he was given was "a boy who is as isolated and lonely as Naruto"), and it was the first thing that they noticed about each other.

However, when discussing the Land of Waves arc, Kishimoto indicated that Naruto and Sasuke were able to see under each other's surface. Sasuke got a greater sense of the mischievous Naruto who didn't give up and moved brightly and cheerfully throughout the world. And Naruto, who had a deep admiration for Sasuke's talent, got to see the amount of work and effort he put into things like tree-climbing training.

One of my favorite examples of this deep understanding comes from the Forest of Death.

As of Chapter 181 (when Sasuke leaves the village for good), Kishimoto stated that Naruto and Sasuke knew each other very well and even indicated that it was a part of the main storyline.

After Chapter 181, there was tension surrounding Naruto's inability to understand Sasuke's grief over the loss of his family. However, Kishimoto specifically used the pain arc to resolve this issue, and by Chapter 695, Naruto and Sasuke's relationship had developed to a point where Sasuke could state that he understood Naruto's heart and vice versa. I've discussed this a bit more here.

Kishimoto maintains his depiction of Naruto and Sasuke's understanding of each other in his post Naruto works. In Gaiden, he specifically juxtaposed Naruto's understanding of Sasuke with Sakura's lack of understanding (every panel exists for a reason), in order to help Sarada bridge the gap between her and her father.

In the Boruto movie, which was written by Kishimoto, and referred to as a movie about Sasuke at his best, Sasuke's understanding of who Naruto is, someone who hates to lose, also helps bridge the emotional distance between Boruto and Naruto in the same way that Naruto did with Sasuke and Sarada. Their understanding of each other is central to the plot.

Leaving this one page summary of Romeo and Juliet in place of something more comprehensive, but at the the crux of it, in the play we're met with two teenagers who find refuge in their love for eachother in the midst of the stifling, hyper urban sociopolitical landscape in Verona and decide to fight to be with eachother even in the face of negative consequences. Then a series of unfortunate events occurs and we're left with the tragic ending.

One of the ways they combatted their oppressive landscape was via a "green world." First coined by Northrop Fyre in his "Anatomy of a Criticism," a green world was a literal natural and wild forest setting imbued with magical elements (ie. fairies) that was primarily utilized by Shakespeare in his comedies as a way for his characters to escape the normal world and enter a separate relationship where they could adress/resolve their conflicts + and achieve "metamorphosis."

In Romeo and Juliet, a green world comes in the form of an orchard beneath Juliet's balcony in the second act. Is is there where they are open with one a other about their feelings and express grief over the fact that they're seperated because of family feuding and societal expectations. And it is there where they reaffirm their love and devotion to one another before they part again.

In Naruto, I believe Narusasu's "green world" comes in the form of their shared mindscape that appears every time they clash/their jutsu meet and they subsequently open up about their feelings. Besides the physical landscape of The Valley of the End, it is the place where they share the most vulnerability together. And it is the manifestation of their repressed and/or unrealized desires to connect with and understand one another.

The construction of their "green world" is always preceded by isolated imagery of them reaching out to one but being physically separated by their weapons of choice (the rasengan and chidori). In this sense, there's a cruel irony in that their moments of emotional intimacy happen in the midst of extreme violence, but it's fitting given Kishimoto's thematic setup. Naruto and Sasuke have been brought up in a corrupt feudalistic landscape. Their shinobi world is wrought with cruelty and breeds ninjas that are taught to disconnect from their humanity to become better tools at their villages' beck and call. There is only room for unquestioning dogmatic loyalty and anything less makes you an enemy. The only way they can interact is through violence.

And this is where the interesting addition to the sociopolitical layer in narusasu's dynamic comes in. On a smaller scale, they are separated from each other by their own shortcomings like jealousy and insecurity, but like Romeo and Juliet their care for eachother is considered "transgressive" because of Sasuke's status as a missing nin. Sasuke becomes a "criminal" after rejecting the village that marginalized and extrajudicially genocided his clan. And Naruto, who was sacrificed to maintain the balance of power in Konoha (by having a chakra manifestation of hatred placed in him), is caught between his new staus as a loyal jinchuriki citizen and weapon for the village and his desire to help shoulder Sasuke's burdens and pain.

However, unlike in Romeo and Juliet, there is no beautiful natural refuge for Naruto and Sasuke to meet and and solve their problems. Violence is embedded in their way of living and thus their "green world" or shared mindscape is something they physically create in combat. It is the fruit of their hard work and achievements as ninja in a series where emotional development is also tied to their physical development. And Naruto and Sasuke utilize it accordingly.

It is where they meet and get a glimpse of what the other is feeling. It is where we see the anguish Naruto and Sasuke felt over being torn apart from eachother in VOTE 1 because of external circumstances out of their contol (ie. Oro's curse mark). It is where Naruto opens up about his insecurites and reaffirms his love for Sasuke in a monologue that mirrors Hinata's confession to him in the Pain arc, and his own sentiments from VOTE 1 ("I'm really happy I met you!"). And in VOTE 2 it's where Sasuke tells Naruto, his one and only friend, that they understand eachother's hearts and he has to cut him off to fully be lonely. Through it we got to see the level of care and devlopment put into their bond and their individual characterizations.

"We may die in different places, our bodies may be pecked by kites and crows, but what does it matter as long as our souls are twined together? Take me with you to heaven or to hell!"

The post I wrote about it last year, citing the parallels between Love suicides at Amijima and Naruto.

"Let us leave, no trace of tears upon our dead faces." - Love suicides at Amijima

Well at least we know where Kishi got his inspiration from. He wasn't stealing from any of those NS doujinshis. He was getting inspired by Chikamatsu, Japanese Shakespeare. No wonder the dialogues he wrote for Naruto and Sasuke are so emotionally impactful and romantic.

What could be a greater tribute to the greatest dramatist Japan has ever seen? Chikamatsu is someone whose work is well imprinted on Japanese people's psyche. Kishi is a well rounded writer, and this is the result. And what a result it is. This is also proof that the world Sasuke and Naruto live in wasn't conducive to their love, a world fraught with prejudice and injustice. Shinobi world, at the end of the day, isn't all that different from the real world when it comes to the basics, is it? And so this tale of love couldn't reach its rightful conclusion.

(Pls Click for better clarity)

Choosing in the sense??? Like protecting?? or As a person whom he wants to give his life for? As for the later, the answer is Obvious.

And In the Kage Summit Arc, Naruto rejected her proposal and said, “The Promise I made to you... It doesn’t have to do anything with this. I personally want to save Sasuke” and there lies his absolute priority!!!

There is this part of fandom that still believes Naruto's love of his life was Pinky. Like he would do anything for her to the extent of sprouting 9 tails if he saw her getting hurt. Like they apply this 'His body moved on its own' concept to Sakura. Anyways, there's no limit to their delusions.

[[I will agree with all my heart that in Pain Arc.... If Sakura jumped into save Naruto, he still would’ve sprouted 6 tails... Even for Konohamaru... ]]

Naruto is a person who cares about everyone. And hence he cares about Sakura too. Plus, he is the titular character. Obviously he can't be written as someone who would let a girl, especially his Team Mate, to suffer. [[That doesn't mean Sasuke was wrong... LOL... He was always right when it comes to treating Sakura]]

But still, I've seen many moments where Naruto has shown to prefer Sasuke over Sakura. Sorry, I take that back.... Was there ever a moment he preferred Sakura over Sasuke??? Here I am going to make some comparison between Forest of the Death Orochimaru vs Naruto and Gaara vs Naruto Battle and Itachi vs Sasuke in Part 1.

There is this unspoken rule in Narutoverse where you awaken New Powers or your body move on its own or you react strongly.... If you see your loved one suffer.

Let’s be generous and consider Naruto’s love of his life was Pinky. Again.... Am just being generous.... Having said that!!!!

NARUTO - PART 1

Body Moving on it’s own!!!

Gaara is approaching to attack Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura tried to stand upto him... Because she wants to protect her beloved Sasuke-Kun. Sigh!!

like if u want sasusaku fans to respect what you respect then you should do the same, beside Sasuke would just be with any girls he wanted, nobody would forced him to marry Sakura beside Naruto and Sasuke r like brothers, they both have KIDS!

like if u want sasusaku fans to respect what you respect then you should do the same

I am not the representative of SNS fandom.... So, I can't speak for everyone. But as far as I've noticed, none of the SNS bloggers begs for respect from any other fandom, myself included. It's all give and take you know.

Now that you approached me and ask for respect.... My question to you is, "Why do you need our respect at all??? You guys became Canon. You got what you wanted. Why do you care what we think about your Ship??? If you think we don't respect your ship.... Just Block our tags and be happy, Man!!!"

You want to know why I don't respect your ship, right???

It's because of this. I found this in your tags.

You guys are Canon. And your couple have a lovely daughter and yet you hate her....

Reason Being??

Sarada comes between your couples' SMEX-LIFE or HUG...

You guys are really thirsty and cringey as hell. I don't mind people having smut content in their Fan Fiction. I really don't mind if you guys Edit something to make Sasuke and Sakura kiss or hug each other. But erasing Sarada out of your ship is Disgusting. Extremely Disgusting.

Well... This is not the only reason. I have million reasons to disrespect your ship.

Beside Sasuke would just be with any girls he wanted, nobody would forced him to marry Sakura

Oh, Really????

What about Studio Pierrot??? They are the ones who came up with this stupid idea to go for Next Generation series and they made all the characters to marry someone at the same time, have smex at the same time and spew out babies at the same time.

How Convenient!!!

And Why Sakura, you ask?

It's because SS was more popular than SK. Since Karin was not popular, Sasuke was forced to marry Sakura. That's all.

No wonder, Sarada looks like Karin.

Naruto and Sasuke are like brothers

Oh Brothers, eh???

Where is the Birth Certificate or Family Photo???

Where is the DNA report??? Sarada could able to look for DNA check up in Borutoverse.... Similarly Sasuke and Naruto could also do it. Please ask your Beloved 'Sasuke-Kun' to do a DNA check up and produce the results that they are 'Brothers'....

Bring one proof.... One Proof that they shared the womb of either Mikoto or Kushina... Then I will stop shipping this 'Incestuous SNS Fandom'.

Because we are very tired of proving everyone that they are not Brothers. This time I want people from other fandom to prove that they are brothers.

"Because we're Friends"......

Am Sorry, They are not Brothers. Naruto himself admitted it.

they both have KIDS!

Oh??? So now you remember that your Couple have a Kid???

Where was this concern when you guys made that Ugly edit by erasing Sarada out of SasuSaku???

Where was this concern when you guys made predictions that 'Sasuke lost Rinnegan, So he will stay in the village and have smex with Sakura daily and are going to have another Kid..."...?

The Thirst level of your Fandom is extremely vomit inducing... Sorry. And you guys use Sarada as an excuse to meddle with other people's ship and asking them to stop shipping them. How Hypocritical of you guys????

You know what??? I hate NaruHina too. I bash them just like your SS Ship. But they are not Thirsty unlike you guys. Their write ups are mostly Thirst Free, as far as I've noticed.

If Naruto and Sasuke have kids.... They should behave like a Father to their own Kids. I don't blame Sasuke for neglecting your Kween Sakura for a Decade. But Why Sasuke couldn't recognize Sarada????

He saw a Girl with Sharingan who is of same age as his Kid... Why couldn't Sasuke put 2+2 together to identify Sarada as his own Daughter??

Amazing Family, You Guys!!!!!

Oh, But never mind!!! You guys don't like Sarada... So, this scene will never bother you. All that matters is that Sasuke called Sakura as, 'My Wife'.... That's all you guys need.

Whereas,

Hinata sees Naruto in her Son which is perfectly Understandable.

Why are they making the same thing for Sasuke??? Did we ask for this???? Most of the SNS fans don't even watch Boruto.

If Hinata can see Naruto in Boruto..... Because of NaruHina.....

Why can't we consider Sasuke seeing Naruto in Boruto... because of SNS????

What's very funny is that... Sasuke never saw Sakura in Sarada like this, Why is that??(Well, even if he want to, he can't... Because that girl looks like Karin)...!!! He likes to spend more time with Boruto than your beloved Kween Sakura.... Why is that???

You guys should send a petition to SP to stop Sasuke from making contact with Boruto and act as a proper Father to Sarada.

Anyways, Sasuke is not a character that belongs only to SS fandom. I can ship Sasuke with whoever I want unless that person is not related to him by Blood. I see no problem in shipping Sasuke with Naruto even after they have Kids.... Because Sasuke is acting like an adoptive Father to Boruto, so far, which we, SNS Fandom, never wanted in the first place.

It's like the Manga author and Studio Pierrot are forcing us to ship them even in the Borutoverse.

why do you hate on sakura x sasuke?

It's because I hate Sakura from the bottom of my heart. I have seen many girls like her in my real life and all of them gave me a bitter experience, namely, Using people like a Toilet Brush and throwing them away.

As for why I hate your Ship entirely... I've written so many posts on that topic. Please check them out. But the most important reason being it's completely one-sided and Sakura was always behaving like a Horny dog on heat whenever she was near Sasuke which is extremely unpleasant to watch, Whereas Sasuke never showed any interest on her.

Another Reason being, SS Fandom as a whole. You guys are so nosy and meddle with other people's ship... Like you guys have this twisted delusion that 'Sasuke-Kun' belongs only to SS and pounce on everyone who ship him with someone else.

You guys really don't have to respect me or the SNS fandom. Because respect comes only when two sides were being honest and understanding each other. I have seen such people from NH, NS, SK fandom here in Tumblr. But not one person from SS, so far.

Not the point.

Anyway.

But goddamn, do I hate the SS shippers who constantly gloat about their ship becoming canon and go as far as to dismiss and be rude to those who ship something different. Like, IDK how they could be so happy, so boastful, with the current state of their ship in Next Gen. It’s so embarrassing. And, idk how they can even call whatever Sasuke and Sakura have going on a “loving, healthy marriage”. For fuck sake, Sasuke won’t even kiss his wife, also known as the mother of his child!!! Like, he’s somehow got nasty with the girl and yet refuses to kiss her!

Which only means, it’s canon that the only person Sasuke has ever kissed is Naruto….brah 👁👄👁

If you ship the ship, good for you, I guess. But don’t sit there and brag and bow down to a ship that’s so clearly dysfunctional in canon while calling other people delusional for liking a different ship.

No matter whatever you say, Anon!!!! They will not listen to any of your reason.😔😔

There is this day, A Quora writer wrote something about Sarada. The answer was really good. Like how Sarada was designed to look like Karin and why it was intentional. Her arguments were very similar to how I felt, that is, 'A Manga Artist is someone who knows very well about how their drawings will be perceived. Kishimoto knew very well that designing Sarada similar to Karin will evoke some reaction from the readers and he wants it that way because he doesn't like SS'...

I agreed with the OP and commented my views. All of a sudden, an SS fool barged into the comment section and brought some shitty fan made facts and said how they were planned from the beginning.

It was not even an SS question to begin with. They feel threatened and come into other people's discussion and spoil the entire atmosphere.

Like I don't get these people's delusional minds. If my ship has become Canon, I would be happy and content with whatever I got and stay quiet. I have no reason to get into other people's arguements.

Why do they pounce on us for liking other ship??

Immaturity and Feeling Threatened.

They clearly knew their ship is shitty, forced, unhealthy, under-developed and hence they use any methods to defend it.

Okay I know I just asked a question so I’m sorry I didn’t add it with my other one.

Okay see people saying SNS is one-sided and that Naruto is the only one has feelings/likes Sasuke but Sasuke doesn’t reciprocate. They also say Naruto is obsessed with Sasuke, not actually liking him and compare his obsession with Sakura’s.

Now, we both know that’s a lie. Sasuke does like Naruto and wants to savored their bond so it’s not just Naruto. Honestly, I always see it with SS fans that Sasuke doesn’t know how to show emotions. That he’s emotionless and cold hearted.

Now, I find that bullshit. I’m not saying Sasuke wears his heart on his self like Naruto but Sasuke does show emotions, even if it’s alittle or toward people he deems worthy of seeing it. Just because he doesn’t let them dictate his choices, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any. Just because he doesn’t reciprocate Sakura’s feelings doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a heart or completely evil.

I also don’t think it’s fair to compare Naruto to Sakura when it comes liking Sasuke. They’re both different on why they like him.

Now, of course, I’m not saying SNS is perfect or trying too. However, both Naruto and Sasuke like each other and wants to continue their bond.

What do you think, Sparrow?

They also say Naruto is obsessed with Sasuke, not actually liking him and compare his obsession with Sakura’s.

Obsession of Sakura:

Even though Sasuke wanted to do something for himself... This girl never want to leave him alone, somehow she always want herself to attach with him in some ways. She badly wanted to get inside his pants which is very evident from her blushing.

This girl never genuinely cared about Sasuke.... Or else why would she ask to accompany him in this Dark path???

Part 1 or Part 2.... This girl will never change!!! Her obsession was always about her ‘Sexual’ desire to obtain Sasuke like an Object. 

Obsession of Naruto:

Naruto just let Sasuke to be himself for some time to self-analyze himself and explore the world.

How is this called Obsession????? Even if it was... How is this similar to Sakura’s Obsession???

Okay see people saying SNS is one-sided and that Naruto is the only one has feelings/likes Sasuke but Sasuke doesn’t reciprocate.

Oh Well!!!!!!

Am telling you, I only shipped SNS after watching Sasuke confessed that he liked Naruto's presence all along from his childhood days....

There is a reciprocation and Sasuke did it right from Episode 3!!!!!

Usually, When you have rivals in Media, one will always bully the other.... Here Sasuke was just lovable right from Episode 3. Keeping Chapter 698 in mind, everything made sense why Sasuke did what he did for Naruto in Part 1.

If this were an one-sided relationship, I wouldn't be writing this blog here!!!!

Not so much an Ask...Ok so I wanna rant to u lmao sorry ... Don't you think it's interesting how everyone accepts that Danzo is an asshole. But most fans can't do the same with Sakura. Apparently she's not a bad person but instead had lot of potential that wasn't developed because of misogyny. But what about Neji, Choji, and Kiba? These men didn't amount to any. And Neji was said to be the most gifted right? But Ino is what head of security for the village she answers directly to the Hokage? What Choji doing eating donuts right? And Tsunade was part of the legendary sannin and The Hokage and revolutionized Medical ninjusu. And our beloved Jirayah was running around writing smut novels right? 😂

Also Sakura stalks Sasuke(we know damn well he doesn't want to see her), She keeps touching/sexually harrassing him and he keeps saying no to it, aggressively forces her romantic interest on him, dumped her only friend Ino, beats up Naruto out of jealousy, and doesn't do any work unless it gets her the D. Honestly if she was a guy in our world she would be prison and with a restraining order.

And all the time she was hitting Naruto and Naruto was going through it all( crying, depression, loneliness) she was not there. All of sudden the village loves Naruto she wants to hug him infront of everyone. Ok so it's ok to Correct me if I'm wrong but when his Master died did she hug him? Or even when he was covered in bandages after encountering Sasuke? 😢😢 I don't think so. But yeah.. What do you think?

No... She didn't....

And that's why that Hug before the Villagers was extremely inappropriate, weird and undeserved. She was genuinely happy to see him alive who came out unscathed after fighting with Pain... Agreed... It's not at all Romantic or anything.

But why can't she do it before??? Sakura punching Naruto is some comedic effect and has happened many times in this series... So, it's Fine... But Sakura Hugging Naruto???.... Is Weird.... Very very weird...

Especially she had plenty of times where she could've hugged him, you know.

This is Sakura hugging Sasuke after he got injected with the Cursed Seal. And I am not going to say she was doing this out of Lust. That's too low, Man... Even for Sakura!!! She was worried about his Safety as he was under immense pain... And she already love him. (Even though that love was just an heavy Infatuation & Shallow). And she even cried in this scene. So, The Hug was genuine even though she isn't supposed to do it.
